Hey Harley, what shipping costs does just strings.com charge?, I see they dont do surface mail outside the US and airmail is $40.ooUS - If the strings I want to order cost $30.oo US, what would the all up charge be - any ideas?

Their range isn't as good as Juststrings.com. For example in D'Addarios, they only have regular ( 34" ) scale length. If you have a fender jazz special 5 for instance, the regular set won't reach for the D string - you need super long scale sets

Their shipping costs are very very good though - $US14.95 for USPS 5-10 days and $US29.95 for 2-5 days.

Pity they do not have the range, if you need extra longs strings.....like I do

I just got a hold of a set of Elixir lights 45-100 round wounds. These have an 'ultra thin coating' which is supposed to keep tone '3-5x longer'.
It'll be interesting to see if they do last longer so I'll post a little review once I get around to trying them out.
